March Madness is almost here. This is one time where I will miss being home.
Do a lot of sports bars show the games? The time difference will be a factor, but I know several bars showed the Super Bowl.
In the States, I used to watch some of the games through the stream provided by CBS, but I don't think I can watch that overseas.

I know you can pay to watch NFL games, so is there something like that for NCAA March Madness?


By the way, who is everyone picking to win it all?

Also, I think we should start a Dave's fantasy tournament leauge on Yahoo... any interested?

LOL, I remember my first spring in Korea, and I asked the same questions at a bar in Itaewon, and a bunch of Canadians were clueless and didn't even know about the NCAA Basketball tournament. One said he was waiting for the Olympics and that in Canada the closest thing was some curling tournament, eh.

Interested, OP, and go with KU, Duke, UTexas, and 'Cuse.

"NCAA march madness on demand"

All the games are free. Yes, you can watch them here in Korea(I watched last year's games on it). All the games are archived so that you can watch them after work. It really is a great service.

yes this will be available this year, got an email from the ncaa announcing it, best thing out there. it will be a little different this year with turner running the site and games being shown on tnt, tbs etc in the states.

sam ryans may be showing games though not live and last year they ran a pool.

I signed up on http://www.ncaa.com/ last year. Looks like they have it up this year too. It's free but maybe they limit the subscribers, so you have to sign up.

ncaa.com is where I can watch the tournament on demand, right?

Also, do they show the conference tournament? I'm really looking forward to the Big East and Big 12 tournaments.

which site offers the tournament on demand? I tried looking at ncaa.com, but saw nothing.

Also, does this site offer the conference tournaments online?

Good god, Austin, are you taking the piss? Just type in "ncaa march madness on demand" into the yahoo search engine. Take the first site(mmod.ncaa.com). Not too difficult to do. When you get to that site it will tell show what games they show. Hint: it is at the top of the page.
